So...are we closer to getting to use S3 as a...you guessed it...a database? With CAS, we are probably able to get a basic level of atomicity, and S3 itself is pretty durable, now we have to deal with consistency and isolation...although S3 branded itself as "eventually consistent"...

There was a great deal of interest in gossip protocols, eventual consistency, and such at Amazon in the mid oughts. So much so that they hired a certain Cornell professor along with the better part of his grad students to build out those technologies.
